A while back I posted a link to the text version of FDR's great acceptance speech at the 1936 Democratic convention and promised I would look for a link to the actual audio. Eureka! Here it is. (It takes about a minute for the site to load so have patience). Fortunately, this site has numerous other FDR speeches, all of which I intend to listen to in due course. However, I recommend that you start with the '36 acceptance speech by scrolling down until you see:
June 27, 1936
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Democratic National Convention
Then click the little speaker icon.
I just listened to it and it literally gave me goosebumps. Take a half hour of your day and see what it was like to have a REAL president.
